A former FLDS member is on CNN talking about how it took her 5 years to adjust after she left. They said the education level is so low that these people often know nothing about the outside world. There are teenagers who don't know what a crayon is.
The former FLDS member said there was also a great deal of racism. They were told that blacks were originally white and God made them black to punish them for sins. And if the FLDS members talk to or hang around blacks, the black will spread and the FLDS members will turn black. The former FLDS member said she was in a grocery line and there were blacks in the line. She said she began to panic because she thought she was going to leave the store as a black woman.
I have to admit that I laughed at that and felt sad at that. Brainwashing is real. It happens at various levels in many organizations (some legitimate, others not). But brainwashing is compounded by isolating members so they can't find the truth on their own.
